This is a Sublime Text 2 and 3 plugin allowing you to format your HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, React and Vue code. It uses a set of nice beautifier scripts made by Einar Lielmanis. The formatters are written in JavaScript, so you'll need something (node.js) to interpret JavaScript code outside the browser.
This will work with either HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, React and Vue files.
First of all, be sure you have node.js installed in order to run the beautifier. After you've installed node.js, you will need to setup this plugin.
Each OS has a different Packages folder required by Sublime Text. Open it via Preferences -> Browse Packages, and copy this repository contents to the Sublime-HTMLPrettify folder there.
The shorter way of doing this is:
Through Sublime Package Manager
Ctrl+Shift+PorCmd+Shift+Pin Linux/Windows/OS X- type
install, selectPackage Control: Install Package - type
prettify, selectHTML-CSS-JS Prettify
Make sure you use the right Sublime Text folder. For example, on OS X, packages for version 2 are in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2, while version 3 is labeled ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3.
These are for Sublime Text 3:
git clone https://github.com/victorporof/Sublime-HTMLPrettify.git ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/Sublime-HTMLPrettify
git clone https://github.com/victorporof/Sublime-HTMLPrettify.git ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/Sublime-HTMLPrettify
git clone https://github.com/victorporof/Sublime-HTMLPrettify.git %APPDATA%/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/Sublime-HTMLPrettify
Tools -> Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P or Ctrl+Shift+P) and type htmlprettify.
-- or --
Ctrl+Shift+H (or Cmd+Shift+H if you're on a Mac).
-- or --
Right click in the current buffer and select HTML/CSS/JS Prettify -> Prettify Code.
-- or --
Open a HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, React or Vue file, pop out the console in Sublime Text from View -> Show Console, and type view.run_command("htmlprettify").
Writing commands in the console is ugly. Set up your own key combo for this, by going to Preferences -> Key Bindings - User, and adding a command in that array: { "keys": ["super+shift+h"], "command": "htmlprettify" }. You can use any other command you want, thought most of them are already taken.
If you get an error about Node.js not being found or similar, you don't have node in the right path. Try setting the absolute path to node in HTMLPrettify.sublime-settings.
Ctrl+Shift+PorCmd+Shift+Pin Linux/Windows/OS X- type
htmlprettify, selectSet node Path
Simply using node without specifying a path sometimes doesn't work :(
For example, on Linux the path could be in /home/<user>/.nvm/<node version>/bin/node.
On Windows, the absolute path to node.exe must use forward slashes. Must include nodejs.exe, like so: C:/Program Files (x86)/Nodejs/node.exe
Depending on your distribution and default package sources, apt-get install node (for example) will not install node.js, contrary to all human common sense and popular belief. You want nodejs instead. Best thing is to make it yourself from http://nodejs.org/#download.
To properly beautify Vue files, make sure the file syntax is recongnized by Sublime as either HTML, XML or Vue.
To properly beautify JSX files, make sure the file syntax is recongnized by Sublime as JavaScript and that e4x is true in your .jsbeautifyrc.
To beautify your code when saving the document, set the format_on_save setting to true in HTMLPrettify.sublime-settings:
Ctrl+Shift+PorCmd+Shift+Pin Linux/Windows/OS X- type
htmlprettify, selectSet Plugin Options
To beautify your code when while editing a document, set the format_while_editing setting to true in HTMLPrettify.sublime-settings.
To beautify your code when on any of these events, set the format_on_open, format_on_focus, format_on_focus_lost settings to true in HTMLPrettify.sublime-settings.
To stop beautifying only the selected text, set the format_selection_only setting to false in HTMLPrettify.sublime-settings.
Before prettifying, a copy of the the current editor's text contents are saved to a temporary file. This avoids piping the text directly to the prettifier, avoiding "filename or extension is too long" errors on Windows or any potential data lowss. To operate on the original document instead, set the save_to_temp_file_before_prettifying setting to false in HTMLPrettify.sublime-settings.
To add different file extensions use allowed_file_extensions or allowed_file_syntaxes in HTMLPrettify.sublime-settings, under the global_file_rules setting.
If the use_editor_syntax setting is false, then the following apply:
{
"html": {
"allowed_file_extensions": ["htm", "html", "xhtml", "shtml", "xml", "svg"],
},
"css": {
"allowed_file_extensions": ["css", "scss", "sass", "less"]
},
"js": {
"allowed_file_extensions": ["js"]
},
"json": {
"allowed_file_extensions": ["json", "jshintrc", "jsbeautifyrc"],
}
}If the use_editor_syntax setting is true, then the following apply:
{
"html": {
"allowed_file_syntaxes": ["html", "xml"],
},
"css": {
"allowed_file_syntaxes": ["css", "sass", "less"],
},
"js": {
"allowed_file_syntaxes": ["javascript", "ecma"],
},
"json": {
"allowed_file_syntaxes": ["json"],
}
}To add ignore rules use disallowed_file_patterns in HTMLPrettify.sublime-settings, under the global_file_rules setting. If the file (including path) matches any of the regexp patterns defined in disallowed_file_patterns it will not be beautified.
The following apply regardless of the use_editor_syntax setting's value:
{
"html": {
"disallowed_file_patterns": ["myFileToSkip\\.html", "myFolderToSkip"]
},
"css": {
"disallowed_file_patterns": ["myFileToSkip\\.css", "myFolderToSkip"]
},
"js": {
"disallowed_file_patterns": ["myFileToSkip\\.js", "myFolderToSkip"]
},
"json": {
"disallowed_file_patterns": ["myFileToSkip\\.json", "myFolderToSkip"]
}
}Parts of code that shouldn't be formatted can be ignored with beautify preserve and beautify ignore directive comments. This allows you to tell the beautifier to preserve the formtatting of or completely ignore part of a file. The example inputs below will remain changed after beautification.
Use preserve when the content is javascript, but you don't want it reformatted.
/* beautify preserve:start */
{
browserName: 'internet explorer',
platform: 'Windows 7',
version: '8'
}
/* beautify preserve:end */Use ignore when the content is not parsable as javascript.
var a = 1;
/* beautify ignore:start */
{This is some strange{template language{using open-braces?
/* beautify ignore:end */To stop using the formatting style defined in the .jsbeautifyrc config file regarding indentation size and whether or not to use tabs or spaces, in order to use sublime's settings instead, then set the use_editor_indentation setting to true in HTMLPrettify.sublime-settings.
To stop using editor syntax and instead use file extensions for determining file type, set the use_editor_syntax setting to false in HTMLPrettify.sublime-settings.
Respecting .editorconfig files
These configuration files can be placed wherever a .jsbeautifyrc could. To stop respecting .editorconfig files, which override the prettifier's rules, set the use_editorconfig setting to false in HTMLPrettify.sublime-settings. Note that use_editor_syntax and use_editor_indentation have precedence and will always override any other settings from any configuration file like .jsbeautifyrc and .editorconfig.
The plugin looks for a .jsbeautifyrc file in the following directories:
- The same directory as the source file you're prettifying.
- The source file's parent directories.
- Your home folder.
- Your personal Sublime settings folder.
When one is found, it stops searching, and it uses those options along with the default ones.

A few persistent options are always applied from a .jsbeautifyrc file located in the same directory as the plugin, if not overwritten by your own .jsbeautifyrc file. Those are defined here. You can safely add stuff to that json file if you want:
